Linux training

These are instructor led courses that will introduce delegates to the main concepts of Linux. No previous experience with Linux is required to enrol on one of these courses, however it is best if delegates have some basic computer operating knowledge. Programs will help you to work towards becoming a Linux professional, achieve certification and meet any prospective employers critical IT needs. By the end of the course the users will be able to understand Linux Operating Systems, use front end tools, and fully acknowledge the advantages and disadvantages of Linux.

What is Linux
Linux is powerful, widely used and very successful open-source operating system. It is freely available to download from the Internet, and is suitable for implement and stabilising high-performance, inexpensive servers. It consists of many varieties and is very similar in function to UNIX. Its popularity is partly down to the fact that it is a flexible operating system which allows IT professionals to alter and amend it at will.
